Zap2It’s anonymous sources say that franchise creator Kevin Williamson (who recently sushi-ed with the writer of the article, by the way) is no longer involved with Scream 4 and that the script is now in the hands of Ehren Kruger, who was responsible for the kinda bad Scream 3. Hayden Panettiere’s role has allegedly been “dumbed down significantly,†and when Alison Brie, Marley Shelton, Erik Knudson, and Adam Brody signed on to star recently it was to make up for the other actors who fled the production.
